This makes sense when listening to his rant about wealth redistribution. While living in Baltimore as a teenager, Shakur joined the Baltimore Young Communist League and was apparently dating the daughter of the head of the Baltimore chapter of the Communist Party. His mother was tried and acquitted of over 150 counts of “Conspiracy against the United States government and New York landmarks.” 3 His mother and aunt were active and militant members of the Black Panthers, a “special interest” group literally fighting less for black equality and more for black revenge.
Tupac has a very interesting political past. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said let’s figure out a way to control motherfuckers.
But when asked his religious views, Tupac was very critical of organized Christianity. There are many more monotheistic references in Tupac’s music. So when I’m asked who I give my unconditional love to? I look for no other name, except God. When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers, no one heard me, except God. When I needed a breath to rise from my sleep. I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain. His family was not particularly religious and didn’t subscribe to any official doctrine or denomination, though many of Tupac’s lyrics point to a strong Christian tradition, such as: It’s somewhat strange that Tupac, the poster child of the “West” in the “West-coast, East coast” hip-hop rivalry actually spent most of his formative years on the East coast. Tupac was born in Manhattan and grew up there and in Baltimore before moving to California at the age of 17. He joined a Communist organization as a young man and stuck to his views of fiscal equality and far-left economic ideas into adulthood. Tupac grew up around radicals and revolutionaries. Tupac had no formal, official religion, but his songs and quotes point to someone who believed in God, and probably the Christian God.
